le, it known that lnoryzgie C. Moonsiimn, a (-itizon oi the United States, vand resiiling :il Dillon, county o t hiailieon, State ol illinois, have invented a certain new enel useful improvement' in Glass-Shaping Maohinee, ol which the following ie a epeeicei-v tion.

This invention relates to an apparatus and method for shaping glass.

Glass shaping nie-vhines are of two general types. namely: the vacuum type enel the gravity type,

ln the vacuum type, the blank mold is lillerl hy exhausting; the hhinlc mold` eo that the glass is forced into the mold hy ritmos pherul pressure. This Construction ie, new erm'. .open lo the objections that 'the cost of? exhausting he blank mold, on aCeount ot the leakage, very high, requiring, as it eioee,

a large exhaust pump, and it is also open to the objections that sinne the supply must be ont mi' hy n Cutter exposed tochilling action. it leaves a line or wrinkle :it the bottom of the hlon'n article. Moreover, such n IneehiifieA requires the use ot' a rotating glass tank, which is not {fnl}T expensive to construct, but expensive to maint-ein and operate, on ne count ot the high cost ot construction7 repair and the great amount of tnel required to heat it, `Fnrthermore, in View oit the fact that .Quell a tank neoessaril exposee a large ein .in-e ot' mollen gloss, the radiated heet will he large, which not onli7 renders the operation, lubrication and maintenance of a machine e diliionlt n1atter,`outsaleo'tlestruetive and aggravatingto the workman who must operate the machine. in such a zone of high temperature.

The other type of machine in which the mold is filled hy gravity is not open to the objections of the vacuum type machine. it is. however, e diioult matter to :lill themolds with a molten einen since this ordinarily requires arresting of the molds, While being filled. or other complicated mechanism. to oh- Viate such operation, Moreover, this requires considerable interruption i thelow of the glass stream, which can not he tolerateil with a material like molten glass, which is liable to chill :nifl form Wrinkles and other (lefeets in the tinishell article. ln

`view of the fact. that en nutometio glass shaping machine for practical ope-ration neeesseriljiv reqnn'eg :i traveling' 'trarne with a Series ol molde, elli of which muet neces eerily he oi heavy construction, it is imprectical to operate euch a traveling iiraine with a step hy sten mo-.'e!nent, on account of the great inertia. or such a, heavy trarne, 'which resists Stepping; and starting thereof. The Speed ot' operation of euch an intermittent machine is, therefore, very lirnitea One of the objects of this invention, therefore` i5 to provide' e method `anni machine, which will overcome the objectionable features ot prior inetliofls and machines. l

Another object is te provide a method and machine whereby the molde may he filled .from e etreinn of glane Without interruption of the glass Stream.

Another ohjieot is to provide a inethoel of and operation i n' filling ino-lds from av source ot Supply adapted to deliver stream of glass, whereby successive molds may be filled without interruption ot' the glass strewn.

Another object is to provide a method and apparatus 'for elia-ping eig-less article, Wherehjf blank niolfl een he lled hy a stream oi" glass and the blow hole formed hy displacing: eetion of the core, so as to forcibly shape the neck,

Another is to provide a glass Shape 'the molde,mo1inteil on a greveln maf-f successively lled from source o-'l' supply without interruption ot the eoinoe ot Supply, and Without interrupting' the movement ot the traveling freine.

Another object is to provide a nevel form of cutoff nieehanism. which will out. e, glas@ stream an@ retain the ont portion of the stream.

Another object is to provile a, novel fmrnold. novel mechanism for operating the. Same, which is simple in constrnftion and effective in its operation.

Another object is to provide a novel form ol`l neelr mold and operating mechanism therefor. i i

Another ohjieet to p-iovifle a. novel form of retainer for retaining the 'article when ejected. i

Another ohject is to provide a novel form of ejeetine' mechanism, which is so coordinated i: e hlenl `rnolfl as to prevent interfieren -i thereof ohjeet is to construct e glass shapehine, `in which the parts are maintained .fool in.' the eirouletion of air,

Anehei' ohjecn is tc picyie e novel ferilli of uiiece, which is adapted c dei? er :i sieeni of ,glass and in which the tempera- Lufc :lud iuidity of the stream een oc ef:- curiiteiy eontioiled.

Referring to Figures l, 2, 4l, 8 and 9, the traveling' trame 9 has projecting upwardly therefrom and preferably cast integral therewith a series ot spaced brackets 16; these brackets are cast hollow and suitably Wehhed as shown in Figures 8 and 9, so as to torni hos. like structure The interiors oit these brackets open into the hollow lcody ot the traveling trarne. Moreover, the head 6 has an annular projection i7 extending into an annular recess in the traveling trarne, and 'the head and the body ,9 are provided with cooperating ports 18 and i9 so as to permit entra-nce of air through a supply pipe 20 through the liclloffv heed ,6 into the traveling frame and the interiors or' the brackets' 16 thereon tor the purpose ot cooling as hereinafter described.

The head 7v is provided with a suitable cover 2l and is also provided with vopenings 2&2 so as to permit access from the interior of this head to the various cams and mechanisms as hereinafter Inore'fully described.

The Miami; mold and its ope/noting rieccomi/lem. ieerring to Figures i to 8 incluive and 3.5, attached to the traveling frame 9 is an annular support 3G provided with brackets ill which may he cast integral therewith and holted to or secured to the hody il in any suitable manner. ln order to additionally sust-ain this support in its inovem fit with tn e 1cody ot the traveling trarne, this support is provided with series ot rolls 32 hearing on the hardened plate mounted on the has-e l; the support is thus adapted to rotate with tle body of the traveling 'frame and on the base l. The support() is of lil-section and has machined ledges 3d forming-tracks. Mounted for movement along' and in the support are a vseries ot' carriages one for each lolanlt mold, and eech carriage is provided with a series of rolls 36 engaging and moving on the tracks 3i, while in order to additionally 1orace and sustain the c triage laterally, it is provided with ribs 37 engaging grooves in the side members et the support 3G. A ring 38 is provided with brackets 39 holte/d or other wise secured to the body 9 of the traveling eine, and this ring'is maintained in spaced relation with respect tothe support 30. Each carriage is provided at its upper end With a rib 40 engaging a similar groove in the ring 38. The carriages are, theretore, supported Jfor movementcircumterentially along the traveling 'frame and the support SO and the ring thereon;

Each carriage has mounted thereon a mold carrier #il which is guided. tor vertical movements in the carrier hy rilos on flanges 43 on the carrier 4l engaging vertical .grooves in the sidel members ofthe carriage. This permits tree vertical movement et the car- `rier Ion its carriage.

The carriage 35 is constructed with spaced legs 4ladapted to embrace an inclined track 45 extending from one vertical block 4G to another vertical block 46, there being a scries ol' these blocks supporting a series ot' tracks, bolted or otherwise secured in the hottom of the support 30. The bottoni ot' the carrier el is provided with a roll 47 engaging the track 45, and it will'be noted that this track is provided at its upper end with a flat 48 ending in a shoulder 4:9, and at its lower end Wit-h a de ressionv to form a shoulder 50 for a roll. lilach block 4G is also provided with a -pair of laterally extending wings 51 adapted to engage the legs 44 of the carriage 35 in the elevated and depressed positions ot the carriers respec- 4tivelyn It will, therefore, be noted that the construction is such that a relative movement of the carrier With respect to and along the support 30 will cause the carrier to he elevated or depressed depending upon the direction of this relative movement, the carrier being elevated against the actionA of gravity, and depressedhy gravity due to its Weight. y

Each carriage 35 has secured thereto a segmental rack 52, meshing with a gear 53 ou the bracket 3l and provided at its upper end with a shaft 54 supported in bearings on the -hracltet 31, and provided at its lower end with a gear 55 adapted to mesh with racks 56 and 57 respectively mounted on the hase, and positioned as hereinafter described. The construction is such (assuming that a carrier is in depressed position at the lower end of its incline 45) that when the traveling frame moves in the direction ot the arrows, Figures 4, 5 and 6, the engagement of the gear 55 with the out-er rack 56 Will cause the carrier to move relative to the traveling traine in a direction opposite the direction of the movement of the franie,'therehy causing` the roll 47 on the carrier to travel up wardly along the incline to. elevate the carrier. The length of the rack 5G is such,n that the carriage will he moved along thc incline from one shoulder 50 to another shoulder 49, in other words, from the `v"position occupied by the right carrier and carriage, Figure 5, to the position occupied oy the lett carrier and carriage. The gear is, however, so positioned that the backward movement relative to the traveling frame ot the carrier will equal the movement forivard of the traveling frame. Consequently, during such movement, the carriage will remain stationary in space. While the carrier will move ,up in a vertical hut laterally stationapy plane. y

The rack 5T which is also mounted on the frame, operates to turn the gear 55 in the reverse' direction when vthis-gear comes into 'mesh therewith, and this rack alsoisof such.
